If you are looking for better cooling, check out this Autospeed article first:

http://www.autospeed.com/A_2159/cms/article.html

most bonnent vents will *increase* underbonnet temps.

Also for those raising the back of the bonnet that also does not assist cooling, check out this article:

Properly designed kits placed in properly designed positions can improve things, but cutting a couple of holes in your bonnet will not help

true carbon fibre shatters on high impacts and is less likely to harm anyone u hit than fibre glass...

personally i think they would look gay... i would just get a glass one and paint it... should only cost about 250 to paint a bonnet not including the inside (no need to).

Heres 2 pics of the dodgy bonnet I did.

Basically it was illegal and I did consult the pits in WA about it. I did cut out part of the bonnet support, so the bonnet was a bit floppy. And they said the size of that vent would have been fine IF i ducted the vent soley to the radiator core. The Radiator cap and hoses could not be visible from the top of the vent, so it would have had to be totally sealed. But despite the main support being cut out, if I had strengthened around the vent to give it more rigidity it would have also been ok. The guys at the Pits discussed this with collegues for over an hour!

Also I will note, that from testing using the standard plastic intercooler plumbing on the CA18 Motor, with the vented bonnet the plastic was very cool, if not cold compared to the other intercooler plumbing in the car. With a normal bonnet on it was stinking hot. And yes, you could see a shitload of hot air escaping out of it.

I made the vent with an angle grinder and alot of glass and bog. It was a weekend job. Not sure if my Cefi is going to see the same treatment though :)

AN EXACT REPLICA OF THE R34 GT-R V-Spec II NACA Duct is AVAILABLE FROM

www.kenlowe.com.au in Qld> Raceglass composites > Bodies,Scoops > Scroll down to NACA Ducts 3"

This is an easy company to deal with.

It sits directly over the turbo and no bonnet-reinforcement needs to be cut away.

Mesh made by SAAS can be easily obtained from Autobarn etc.

^^^

I wonder what the Nissan R&D findings are, with regard to the single NACA Duct on the R34 GT-R VS II and the pair on the R35.

By the way, I am in the Cosmetic and Styling Mods section aren't I?

Oh yes.... yes I am!

^^^ hehe... Yep :P

The F/G one costs $45 + GST + Post = $62 to your door.

It can then be fitted from below the bonnet where it'll be moulded and where the hole is cut via a template.

It's OK to PM me with your E-mail for pics of the finished product!

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
